Translation

O Allah, forgive me what I have sent before me and what I have left behind me, what I have done in secret and what I have done in public, what I have done in excess, and those sins which You are better aware of than I. You are the One Who sends forth and You are the One Who delays. There is none worthy of worship but You.
